Re: Field Name whitespace via MyODBC
Brian, I think you are going to need to rename your fields/columns. If you are unable to rename them in mysql then you will probably need to rename them in your jet database with Access and re-import them. Your column names should be literals not wrapped in graves or quotes and should contain no whitespace. Whitespace is frequently used as a delimiter. I also avoid any characters other than alphanumeric and the occasional underscore character in field/column names . It helps avoid OS idiosyncrasies and simplifies naming conventions.
